The sophomore leads the SEC with 5.5 receptions per game and 91.5 receiving yards per game. He's also hauled in six touchdowns.

"A.J. Green is a great talent," AU head coach Gene Chizik said. "He has a lot of range and speed. He is their go-to guy.

"They take a lot of shots down the field to him."

As a true freshman last year, Green burned Auburn for 81 yards on five catches including a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter that proved to be the difference in UGA's 17-13 win at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Green missed UGA's last game with a bruised lung but returned to practice this week and is expected to start against the Tigers.
